Don Berry, the owner of Vases By Vazu, sent me an email yesterday. He informed me that they are an authorized distributor of Vazu vases for the United States.

I went to check his Web site where I saw the latest addition to the Vazu, a collection of Christmas themed vases. Offered with a red, green or blue background, the drawings on the green flower vase are the most stylish.

How and when to use this expandable flower vase?

Vazu comes most handy to bring fresh blooms or green leaves when you are invited to dinner or at a party.

You ask the florist to fill up the vase with water, select fresh flowers and put them inside right away. Your fresh flowers will stay healthy even if you have to drive all day.

If you are looking for a no-fuss solution, these expandable flower vases are perfect to decorate your office, a buffet table or your home during the Holidays. For a gift exchange, Vazu makes a hard to beat stylish gift idea under $10. If you include flowers, your gift can easily be under $25.

Looking at the pictures, I do question the use of red and white roses. These are really not the right flowers to celebrate the Holidays. With so many wonderful flower species out there, I am sure you can do better than that. Ask the florist for help if you hesitate.

Vazu is sold as a flat-pack vase made of thin plastic. It is guaranteed leakage free. The vase is reusable as often as you need. I bought one for a friend who enjoyed it.

How should the Vazu be cleaned?

Vases by Vazu recommends simply rinsing the Vazu with some water and soap. Then, shake it a few times. Leave your Vazu vase open so it can dry completely before flattening it. Your best option is to use a wine decanter drying stand or any bottle drying stand that is high. When flattened, air cannot penetrate, thus preventing the formation of mold and bad odors.
